Benefits of technology

[0013]Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a retaining device for a writing instrument which allows the device to be used in a variety of different locations so that the writing instrument is readily available when needed.

Problems solved by technology

A long standing problem encountered by most people at one time or another is having a writing instrument readily available when needed.
This is frequently a problem when someone is not at a location where a writing instrument is normally readily available, for example, at a desk.
The problem with this prior art is that it does not provide much flexibility in where and how the device can be used.

Embodiment Construction

[0022]FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the retaining device 1 of the present invention. In this embodiment, the retaining device 1 includes a cord 2 with a helically coiled section which has resilient coils that can be enlarged to insert a writing instrument 3. The coils naturally retract to securely hold the writing instrument 3 in place. The free end of the cord 2 is attached to a first end of a ball chain 4. A magnet 5 is attached to the second end of the ball chain 4.

[0023]It is understood that instead of the ball chain 4, any other type of cord can be used which would provide a similar function. For example, a link chain, a nylon string or an elastic member can be used. Additionally, instead of the ball chain 4, it is possible to simply connect the magnet 5 to the free end of the cord 2.

[0024]The cord 2 can be made of any suitable material but preferably is a resilient material such as nylon or plastic. In this way the cord can be coiled near one end for holding the writing instru...

Abstract

A magnetic retaining device having an elongate member with helical coils at a first end thereof. The helical coils are resiliently expandable so as to hold objects therein. A magnet is attached to a second end of the elongate member to allow the retaining device to be temporarily held on a magnetic surface.

Description

[0001]The present application is a continuation-in-part of co-pending patent application Ser. No. 11 / 637,309, filed Dec. 12, 2006, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention pertains to a magnetic retaining device, and particularly, to a device for holding a writing instrument for easy access. A long standing problem encountered by most people at one time or another is having a writing instrument readily available when needed. This is frequently a problem when someone is not at a location where a writing instrument is normally readily available, for example, at a desk.[0003]A number of devices have been developed in the past and some of these will be discussed below.[0004]U.S. Pat. No. 6,450,718 discloses a golf bag pencil holder in which a pencil is attached to one end of a flexible cord and the other end of the flexible cord is attached to a snap hook which engages with a ring mounted on a golf bag.[0005...
